Keep a steady pace so you can keep on breathing normally, don't go too fast even if you can because you'll miss the sunrise. Also, there's fixed ropes for the initial icewall, the bigass crevasse after that, and the final summit wall; pretty exposed and potentially rather windy.
Also, don't forget to carefully pet the wild snowcocks in basecamp, they're pretty tame.
